Further origins are unknown; it is possible that qahwah came from the name of the Ethiopian region of Caffa, the birthplace of the coffee tree (in Caffa itself, coffee is called “buno” or “bunna”). Russian borrowed coffee via English coffee or Dutch koffie from tour.

Preparation

An extract is made from coffee beans, and a suspension is made from cocoa beans. In other words, if you want to drink a cup of aromatic coffee, then by brewing coffee, you extract its beneficial substances into the water. And if you want a cup of hot cocoa, just mix cocoa particles with milk or water.

And one more difference. As a rule, coffee is sold roasted and can be prepared with the addition of other spices and products. That is, sometimes this drink can be called a “dish”, and cocoa powder is sold simply in its raw form.

Production

Drying and peeling of fruits

To begin with, the coffee beans are harvested, a process still done by hand. The fruit is then dried and peeled using one of two methods.

The dry method is a more ancient, primitive and labor-intensive process. The fruits are laid out in the sun and raked and spread out again several times during the day. When they dry out to the point that they contain only 12 percent water, the pavers become wrinkled. At this stage they are processed manually or by machine.

When using the wet method, the husks are removed before drying. The fruits are first processed in a pulping machine, which removes most of the material surrounding the beans, but some of this glue coating remains after the pulp is cooked. This residue is removed by adding enzymes in tanks where their natural enzymes digest the sticky substance over a period of 18 to 36 hours.

Once removed from the fermenting tank, the beans are washed, dried with hot air and placed in large mechanical mixers called hullers. Huller will polish the beans to a clean, glossy finish.

Cleaning and sorting beans

The beans are then placed on a conveyor belt, which carries them past workers who remove sticks and other debris. They are then graded based on the size, location and height of the plantation where they were grown.

Once these processes are complete, workers select and package specific types and grades of beans to fill orders from the various roasting companies that will complete the bean preparation. When beans (usually robusta) are harvested in undesirable conditions—hot, humid countries or coastal areas—they should be shipped as quickly as possible, as such climates are conducive to insects and fungi that can seriously damage the cargo.

When the coffee beans arrive for roasting, they are again cleaned and sorted using mechanical devices to remove leaves, bark and other remaining debris. If the beans are not supposed to be defatted, they are ready to be roasted.

Decaffeination

If coffee can be defatted, this is done using two methods. The first is using a solvent, the second is called aqueous.

In the first process, coffee beans are treated with a solvent (usually methylene chloride) that leach out the caffeine. If this degreasing method is used, the beans must be thoroughly washed to remove any traces of solvent before roasting.

The water method involves steaming the beans to bring the caffeine to the surface and then scraping off that caffeine-rich layer.

Burning

The beans are roasted in huge commercial roasters according to procedures and specifications that vary between manufacturers (specialty shops typically buy the beans directly from the growers and roast them on site). The most common process involves placing the bean in a large metal cylinder and blowing hot air into it. An older method called staggering requires placing the beans in a metal cylinder, which is then rotated over an electric, gas or coal heater.

Regardless of the method used, roasting gradually raises the temperature of the beans to 220-230 degrees Celsius. This causes the release of steam, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other volatiles, reducing the weight of the beans by 14 to 23 percent. The pressure of these escaping internal gases causes the beans to swell, increasing their volume by 30 to 100 percent. Roasting also darkens the color of the beans, gives them a crumbly texture, and causes chemical reactions that imbue the coffee with its familiar aroma (that it has not yet possessed).

After roasting, they are placed in a cooling vessel in which they are mixed while cold air blows on them. If the brewed coffee is of high quality, the cooled beans will now be sent through an electronic sorter equipped to detect and eliminate beans that come out of the roasting process too light or too dark.

If the coffee is pre-prepared, the manufacturer injects it immediately after roasting. Special grinding types have been developed for each of the different types of coffee makers, as each is best suited for coffee of a certain fineness.

Instant coffee

If coffee must be instant, then it is brewed using water in huge percolators. The extract is purified from the brewed coffee and sprayed into a large cylinder. As it falls down through this cylinder, it enters a warm air stream that turns it into a dry powder.

Package

Whole coffee beans are less susceptible to loss of aroma and flavor than other types of coffee and are usually packaged in foil bags.

Pre-ground coffee should be hermetically sealed, as it retains its basic qualities less well. It is usually packaged in impermeable plastic film, aluminum foil or cans.

Instant coffee easily absorbs moisture, so it is vacuum packed in tins or glass jars before shipping to retail stores

In 2009, the spelling dictionary of the Russian language, edited by Bukchina, in particular, recognized that the word “coffee” now has not only a masculine, but also a neuter gender.

Myth No. 5. Coffee is a legume plant.

Fact. Did you know that coffee beans are only called coffee beans, just like cocoa beans, but they are not technically beans. They are called that only because their appearance resembles legumes. The truth is that coffee beans are fruits that ripen on coffee trees. We have previously told you about how coffee is grown.

Types and varieties

In nature, there are about 80 species of coffee trees - from dwarf shrubs to 10-meter giants. Man widely cultivates two types of coffee tree for his needs: coffea arabica - Arabica

, coffea canaphora (robusta) -
Robusta
.
According to various estimates, these two types account for up to 98% of the coffee produced. This volume is divided in the ratio of 70% - Arabica
, 30% -
Robusta
. The remaining types account for only 2% of world coffee production.

The most common variety of coffee, Arabica, grows at an altitude of 600 to 2000 meters above sea level. Beautifully shaped beans usually have an oblong shape, a smooth surface, a slightly curved “S”-shaped line, in which, after light roasting, unburned particles of coffee berries usually remain. The Robusta species is fast-growing and more pest-resistant than Arabica, and grows from approximately 0 to 600 m above sea level, primarily in tropical areas of Africa, India and Indonesia. The grains have a round shape, color - from light brown to grayish-green.

Robusta is generally considered less refined in terms of flavor. At the same time, Robusta contains more caffeine and is also often used in espresso blends, which allows for better coffee crema and reduces the cost of the mixture.

Other varieties, such as Liberica

and
Excels
- have no industrial significance.

Growing coffee on plantations

Rare connoisseurs of the invigorating drink have seen with their own eyes what coffee grows on and know the entire cultivation process. Let's try to recreate pictures from a coffee plantation in words:

After processing, the seed is placed in temporary greenhouses for germination. Shoots appear after 2.5 months, grown seedlings with the first leaves are transplanted into individual containers and placed in greenhouses.
The greenhouse growing time for coffee seedlings reaches 6-12 months, then the tree is transplanted to a permanent place. The site should be located in a place protected from bad weather, at an angle to the sun's rays.
Sometimes farmers use open plantations for seedlings, rightly believing that this method hardens the shoots and adapts them to equatorial conditions. Such areas are lined with tall shrubs to protect them from the burning sun, wind and rain.

After three years, the stronger coffee blooms for the first time. The spectacle is of incredible beauty; the flowers vaguely resemble jasmine. The tree blooms with lightning speed: in three days. The first fruiting is weak. Real harvests begin when coffee plants are 5 years old.

How a mature coffee tree grows and how its fruits are harvested:

red (less often purple) coffee berries are collected in large elongated clusters;
The ripening period for coffee berries is 8-11 months (depending on local growing conditions);
Harvesting by region is carried out at different times: in Brazil - in May-September, in America - in October-March, on African plantations - from October to April;
under plantation conditions, the growth of the coffee tree does not stop and without pruning it can reach up to 9 meters; pruning is carried out up to 3 meters.

The best yields are from 8-15 year old trees. Fruiting continues longer (up to 50 years), but the quality of the berries is no longer the same. Manual harvesting is complemented by mechanized harvesting. A harvester goes through the plantation and shakes off the coffee clusters, then the fruits are sorted by hand. Machine harvesting is carried out on flat areas with uniform ripening of the berries, so farmers’ hands are often the only tool.

World “coffee belt”: in which regions of the planet coffee is grown

Wild and cultivated coffee trees are grown in 65 countries. They are located along the equator, forming the coffee belt of the planet. It is humid here, there are plenty of solstice days, and there are no temperature changes that are destructive for coffee.

Geographical boundaries of the coffee belt:

10 degrees north latitude and 10 degrees south longitude;
the territory lies in the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn;
More than half of the world's plantations are located in Central and South America, followed by Africa, and Southeast Asia closes the list.

American continent. High quality grains are produced in Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. There are productive plantations in Ecuador, Guiana, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Venezuela.

Africa. The air here is drier, there is a lot of sun. Coffee plantings are cultivated in Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Angola, and Congo. Asian countries have good market positions - fruits are grown and harvested in Vietnam, Indonesia, and India

The production of the drink from imported raw materials is carried out far beyond the equator. Varietal black and green coffee from roasted beans is obtained in Italy, Turkey, Russia, China, and the countries of Southeast Asia.

Three faces of coffee

Coffee can come in three forms: as an aromatic drink, as a medicine, and as a poison. There is nothing unnatural in this, at first glance, unexpected combination, since coffee affects each organism differently. After a cup of coffee, most people feel cheerfulness, a surge of energy, increased efficiency and improved mood, while some, on the contrary, feel uneasy from just the smell of coffee. For such people, even one cup of drink can cause insomnia, headaches, high blood pressure, and anxiety. In addition, some people fall asleep without problems after drinking coffee, while others cannot sleep a wink.

Why drinks are good for your health

Coffee and cocoa are natural products, which means they are a priori beneficial. However, there are many differences between them, starting with biology - they belong to different plant families. Another significant difference is in their chemical composition; they have different stimulants - coffee contains caffeine, and cocoa contains theobromine.

The value of coffee lies in the caffeine, which gives vigor and energy. This drink stimulates in moments of fatigue, and for many people it is familiar and irreplaceable in the diet. Cocoa is a source of theobromine, whose properties are similar to caffeine. This stimulant is successfully used in medicine.

Drinks made from cocoa are indispensable in baby food; they have a beneficial effect on the heart due to their high magnesium content; the best antidepressant in the form of chocolate is also made from cocoa.

The stimulating effect of coffee is associated with the presence in coffee beans of a substance such as caffeine, which contains alkaloids. This tandem affects the cardiovascular and central nervous systems, increasing the performance of the entire human body.

Coffee is considered a pure energy drink and is useful as a powerful natural stimulant. It improves memory and concentration, speeds up metabolism and prevents depression, diabetes and Parkinson's disease. Coffee fights cancer; this is facilitated by the antioxidants it contains in large quantities.

Coffee has the greatest effect in preventing skin cancer.

Coffee as medicine

The extraordinary properties of coffee are remembered in the ancient legend about Sheikh Omar, a doctor and priest who lived as a hermit in a cave. According to legend, the sheikh treated the sick who came to him with this miraculous decoction of the fruits of the coffee tree.

Even before 1000 AD. The Arab physician and alchemist Rhazes in his writings described the medicinal properties of the drink “binchum” - i.e. coffee. At that time in the East it was believed that coffee accelerates thought, cheers the heart, treats eye diseases, and is an excellent remedy for gout, dropsy and scurvy. "Kawa" in Arabic means "to be strong", "active", "to strengthen".

Despite the fact that many famous legends and stories about coffee say that this drink was used in ancient times to treat various diseases, at present there is no exact data whether coffee was originally used as a drink or as a medicine. However, the wonderful properties of coffee fruits were noticed by scientists, doctors and chefs, thanks to whom we now enjoy this wonderful drink.

Top 10: Weird facts about coffee

Coffee is one of the most consumed drinks in our society. It has become an everyday part of the lives of many people who enjoy the aroma, taste, energy and attention the drink brings. Coffee has a rich history. From the coffee beans, to the way each special drink is prepared, to where the names of the coffee drinks come from. Coffee is one of the great drinks of our time and its enjoyment is appropriate in various situations, from breakfast to meetings or evening gatherings. With such a variety of choices, it is not difficult to find something that will suit the taste of a person with any needs. In the list you will learn ten facts about coffee that most people are not familiar with. 10. Coffee is potentially dangerous

Some people are naturally sensitive to caffeine. Their bodies simply don't react well to it and they experience unpleasant side effects when taking it, such as shaking, anxiety, or an inability to fully concentrate. It turns out that this is because coffee actually has psychoactive properties. This means that if a large dose of coffee is consumed, a person may experience hallucinations, and in very rare circumstances, the person may even die. You, of course, would have to consume a huge amount of coffee for something irreparable to happen. To die from a coffee overdose, you need to drink about 70-100 cups. Although, already starting from 10-20 cups, a person feels discomfort and irritating side effects. People who already suffer from problems such as insomnia, anxiety or irritability should avoid coffee and caffeine in any form. So while coffee is a great fix for some people, don't go overboard with how much you drink, and people sensitive to caffeine should avoid coffee entirely. 9. It was originally eaten

Coffee beans have been familiar to us for several centuries. Before they were used in the various drinks we enjoy today, beans were used for many purposes. In Ethiopia, a farmer noticed that his goats were acting suspiciously after they ate a certain bush. Deciding to figure out what was going on, he discovered that they were eating a coffee plant. He ate a few beans himself and noticed that they gave him a lot of energy and vitality. In subsequent years, coffee was often simply eaten. African tribes mixed coffee beans with fat and created energy balls, eating one or two a day when they needed energy. Thus, coffee was not always taken in liquid form. Only after some time they began to grind and brew it, and this method of consumption became much more common. 8. Coffee was the first of its kind

By now, many of us know that being first at something is always a big deal.
When someone experiences or does something for the first time, he becomes an original, a special pioneer in some way. Coffee was the first to do something very specific. Apparently, coffee was the first food to be freeze-dried. This happened in 1938 when the Nestlé coffee company invented freeze-dried coffee. This was an unprecedented new milestone and set a new standard for how food could be packaged and sold. This new variety of coffee was convenient for many different reasons and allowed consumers to choose how they wanted their coffee to be purchased. 7. The second most traded product on Earth

There are many different types of grains, materials and products that are traded in large volumes by countries in this world. The import and export that different countries participate in is actually the only reason why some countries grow and prosper. The truth is that the economy of many countries is maintained at the proper level only by the goods that they sell to countries that consume these products in large quantities. Coffee is so popular and in such high demand that it is the second most traded commodity in the world, second only to oil. This means that in addition to oil, which countries require for transport purposes, coffee is the most popular commodity. It is this fact that makes it clear how popular and essential coffee beans are in some parts of the world. Some people are simply unable to function without a “dose” of coffee - and do not want to replace it with anything else. Their days seem gray and hard if they don't drink a cup of hot coffee in the morning. 6. The most expensive coffee in the world

Although coffee is a fairly common part of life for most, there are also special types of coffee that only a select few can afford. The most expensive coffee in the world can reach a price of $1,300 per kilogram and is called Kopi Luwak. What's most interesting and strange about this particular type of coffee is how the beans are extracted. They actually get them from an animal. Yes, you heard right. Sumatran cat excrement is the reason why these coffee beans are incredibly expensive and in high demand. The feral cat doesn't digest the coffee beans properly, and what happens to them while they're in the cat's stomach is what allows them to come out of the cat in perfect condition for brewing. It sounds disgusting and absolutely unbelievable, but it's true. The beans are so prized that they are the most expensive coffee in the world. Would you pay hundreds of dollars to drink leftover animal poop? To each his own, I guess. 5. Where do beans grow?

Each type of crop grows differently and requires different care. Not all varieties of beans, grains, fruits or vegetables do well in similar conditions. Each species requires its own set of nutrients to allow it to grow and bloom. Coffee beans are no exception. Coffee beans grow on bushes. Coffee beans actually look very distinctive, and if you are looking for something similar to the coffee beans you are used to seeing in stores, you will definitely pass them by. In fact, coffee beans that are still attached to the plant are most likely to resemble grapes. They have a green, red or purple hue and are much larger in size than the coffee beans we are used to seeing. The surrounding leaves are usually dark and waxy. This is a surprisingly resilient and long-lived plant. Depending on how you care for it, a coffee bush can live from 20 to 30 years. This is enough to maintain your need for a coffee buzz for years to come. 4. Coffee beans are actually a fruit. To some extent.

Some people have little idea what exactly coffee beans are and how they are obtained. Coffee beans are actually drupes of berries. In other words, they are the seed of a fruit. This is a surprising discovery considering the fact that most people think of coffee beans as grains. But no, it is actually a seed that comes from a fruit. It would seem that the fruit from which coffee beans come should have the same effect on your body and energy if you eat it all. Surprisingly, no one talks about this. It seems that the coffee bean (or seed) itself has become so popular as being ground and brewed that no one cares about the original state of the bean, whether it is attached to the berry or not. It would be interesting if those who don't like the taste of coffee could drink a smoothie made from the berries from which coffee beans are obtained instead. However, caffeine is available in so many other forms that this may be a fool's errand. 3. Do you want good Turkish coffee? Buy a cezve!

While there are many different ways to properly prepare all kinds of coffee, some old-fashioned and archaic methods are actually the best. They may not be the most time efficient, but they make excellent coffee. The cezve is a historical coffee vessel that can be used to make excellent Turkish coffee. It's small enough that you won't be able to make a lot of coffee, but the process that takes place in the vessel allows you to achieve the perfect flavor because it's slow and deliberate. Even the structure of the vessel itself is created in such a way as to positively influence the quality of coffee. In addition to the fact that the vessel is small, its neck is narrower than the base: this is a key point in achieving such high quality coffee. If you have a lot of time, don't skimp on the vessel. Why not experience a unique cultural coffee experience? 2. Can coffee grounds be used as fuel?

As it turns out, some people believe that coffee grounds may well serve as fuel in the future. The American Chemical Society conducted a study showing the energy content of coffee grounds. It is estimated that the oil content of coffee grounds is 11-20% by weight. It seems that we have an excellent alternative to traditional fuels. These researchers see and understand the challenges that will present themselves in extracting the oil on a regular basis at a reasonable cost. With gasoline prices rising with no sign of stopping, any form of alternative energy would be welcome, especially if it didn't drain our wallets so quickly. We, of course, won't see anyone filling up their car with coffee grounds anytime soon, but the experiment allows us to look to the future with hope. 1. Coffee ban?

Throughout history, in fact, not all people liked coffee. Although there are currently people who do not drink it, or prefer decaffeinated coffee, the drink was banned by Muslim rulers in the 16th century. Alcohol was also prohibited in such communities. But coffee was banned only after those who drank it began to experience certain, specific side effects. Muslim rulers found the stimulant effect of coffee offensive. Although the ban did not last long, the incident showed that coffee was a powerful stimulant that had noticeable effects. Some of them are desirable, while others can be problematic. Still, if coffee helps you wake up and work actively all day, then it’s worth appreciating, isn’t it?

Planter's find

According to Neto, all the living things that come back to the farm after eliminating pesticides are important to "naturally restore the balance that was lost in the process of tending the monoculture." Therefore, having noticed a cluster of ants near the trees, he did not destroy them. And one day, while walking through the hacienda, I saw peeled berry seeds (coffee beans) scattered around the trees. Then Joao took a closer look and realized that the ants knock coffee berries from the trees and take them to the anthill to feed the pulp to the larvae, and then throw the seeds, that is, coffee beans, outside the home.
